Distributed Computing

As long-time enthusiastic supporters of distributed computing, Alver Valley Software Limited is very proud to be a partner of the World Community Grid. We strongly believe in the ability of sheer computing horsepower - coupled with the great scientific minds running these projects - to make a real difference to future generations.

As such, we make all of our computers available to the World Community Grid. Since some of them are up and running 24x365, this means we are currently generating around 7 days processor time every 24 hours. We are interested in medical research projects, and currently dedicate all our output to the Help Fight Childhood Cancer project, although we have also contributed to numerous other WCG projects.

We strongly encourage anyone - including our customers! - to get involved in the World Community Grid. Every computer participating can make a valuable contribution, without affecting day-to-day use of the computer in any way.

More details about the World Community Grid, as well as our contribution statistics, can be seen below.
